AlanDershowitz: Backing Trump against Mueller is worse than defending O.J.Jul 07, 2018 · Renowned liberal defense attorney Alan Dershowitz has lamented that, even though he voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton, the Dem faithful has him under attack. He said in a recent Fox News interview that his comments about Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation against the President is worse than what he received for his successful defense of former NFL star O.J. Simpson.

In a recent interview Dershowitz discussed the fallout he'd received after penning a recent column for The Hill arguing that President Trump was the victim of McCarthyite tactics employed by Mueller. He said: “I’m enjoying this. It’s a red badge of courage.”​Dershowitz compared his ostracism to college "safe spaces," condemning what he said was a desire to avoid engaging in dialogue about his views. "Here, the people that I’m objecting to want to stop the dialogue. They don’t want to have the conversation. It will upset people at the dinner party or on the porch. This is like safe spaces in colleges. Today the passions are so strong that if I do anything that is perceived as helping Donald Trump, I am an evil conspirator." More from THE HILL
